All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 584 Atop a Hill

Liana slunk away in frustration and curled up in a corner nearby. She couldn’t fathom why she’d lost to Catherine.

She thought, “Even if she had received a good education, could it compare to growing up in the Swanns’?

“How could Catherine be so successful while I can’t?”

Zain fretted about Liana’s well-being and stayed close by her side.

He was also shocked by the truth.

When he heard Bryan speak of knowing a girl who was more exceptional than Liana, he thought Bryan was exaggerating or seeing things through rose-colored glasses.

In Zain’s eyes, Liana was perfect. He didn’t believe there could be someone better. But upon seeing Catherine, Zain understood Bryan hadn’t lied.

Catherine was not only prettier but also far more outstanding than Liana.

Sensing the constant presence beside her, Liana no longer wished to hide her emotions. “Why are you still following me? Are you not satisfied with me being a joke? Am I not pathetic enough for you?” She snapped at Zain.

Zain was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such ruthless words from the gentle Liana. However, considering the blow Liana had just endured, Zain felt he should be more understanding.

He thought maybe Liana was just in a bad mood. Everyone had their off days.

“Liana, you’re an outstanding lady. You don’t need to compare yourself to Catherine, alright?”

Zain’s words cut through Liana like a sharp blade, hurting her pride.

She glared at Zain with her cold eyes. Shut up! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to judge me?”

Seeing the bewilderment in Zain, Liana stood and walked away from him.
